How to download YouTube videos?

While watching a video on YouTube or other video sites you would have surely thought   to download a video that you like for later viewing, sharing, editing, etc ...

There are a variety of tools, both free and paid applications, and even online services that allow you to make this post but let's address the vDownloader, one of the most comprehensive and powerful tools to complete this task.

After installing the vDownloader simply open the application, put the URL of the page where the video, choose the output format and click "Download".


Now just wait for the download to finish and we've got the video to our computer to see when we want.

One of the most interesting features of this application is the same when running, is always "listening" to our download area, so every time we copy an address from a supported site, the application asks us if we want to make the download this video. Helpful, no?
